Where I live in the UK I have "endured" temperatures from 40C down to - 27C
What's that in proper temperatures?, about 104F down to about -22F. It
annoys me that in the UK we are gradually abandoning the proper measurements
for things like this. I was brought up on Farenheit scales and now I cannot
even remember how to convert!! Grrrr!!!
Anyway, I use my Sprite throughout the year. It always amuses me on good
days when people say "I bet you only drive it on days like this" If the
same could see me in winter when I have had to shovel snow out of the
cockpit before I could even get in to drive it!!

Hi Guy, Pretty warm in England for July you say?? It's 36C (about 97F)
right now in central Arkansas. I've seen lots higher than that, though.
But...mix that with around 90% humidity and that means Hot, really, really
HOT. Still, I've had many years to get used to it and iot only lasts for a
couple of months. The rest of the year is delightful and even our winters
are pretty mild with low temps seldom dropping below 20F. Healeys and
Spridgets are driven year-round here.

It is 11.00 pm and must be all of 25 Celcius, whatever that is in "old
money" I am sitting here sweltering!! I just cannot take this sort of
heat!!
I am always surprised that humans have such a narrow temperature tollerance
band - at least until one gets acclimatised. I guess many from your
"Southern States" would be shivering next to me here.
Maybe I just need a new thermostat!
